After numerous requests of publishing the source code of my demo as showed before in JQuery Mobile Web Client on SharePoint enabled I have decided to do so.
You lucky bastards… from the goodness of my hart… and for the good of community… and for world peace.
Please be aware that the solution has not left the alpha stage.
Download the code here … SharePoint4Mobile… this is a .DOC file, cause WP didn’t allow me to upload an archive.
So … rename the download from .DOC to .ZIP and you’ll be all set.
Things you wanna know:
- It was developed against SharePoint 2007 in an BPOS environemnt… so you come across some BPOS specific tag in the ASPX pages.
- It is mainly JavaScript, cause of the BPOS SharePoint 2007 restrictions… you can make this work using .NET better and faster I’ll bet.
- An important component I used was the 2008 SPAPI by Darren Johnstone (http://darrenjohnstone.net).
Good luck and feel free to let me know what the experiences were with this piece of code.
I’m allways open for feedback.
You may wonder why I stopped developing futher.
This has a fairly simple reason.
My goal was developing an App that enabled a user on at least iPhone or iPad to not just Open and Edit MS Office files… but Save modified files back to SharePoint.
This last feature … saving changed files back to SharePoint – is not possible with iPhone or iPad.
Read one of many articles stating what Apple had NOT done to to leverage SharePoint functionality with an iPhone or iPad.

Can you add a Word doc in MS Word 2010 format?
Forget it, decent reading is not my strongest point, renamed to zip and all set 🙂
A cloud based web browser called Puffin lets you do full edit on Sharepoint sites on the iPad Only one I’ve found so far.
